Murray River


Looking for advice on where to stay and what to see/do as we trip along the Murray. Will be staying in parks and free camping. Bella the poodle will be with us.

Cheers

Robyn and Al

Hi Robyn & Al,
Have only stayed at 2 places along the Murray. One was a free camp west of Echuca called Wills Bend. It was off season and we were the only campers there. The drop toilets were in a pretty poor state but we cleaned them up as best we could. I would probably avoid weekends as it is so close to Echuca I believe it would be a popular place for the local bike riders etc. It is down a road called Odwyer Road probably only 10 km from Echuca. The other place we stayed at was a CP the NSW side of Mildura. The Buronga Riverside Tourist Park. Nice place, and they have lots of sites down by the river. One thing I remember was being able to buy a decent bag of Red Gum firewood for about $5! We took a couple of extra bags with us. If you have WikiCamps there are heaps of places listed along the Murray. Have fun. Cheers, Brownie.

Just remembered the Rec Reserve at Nyah. That was a very nice place to camp also. Cheers, Brownie
